Andrew Ogawa is the Managing Partner and founder of Quest Venture Partners, an early-stage venture capital firm he co-founded in late 2007 with Maarten ‘t Hooft and Marcus Ogawa. Before launching the firm, he spent 11 years at Daimler AG in corporate strategy and procurement roles across Stuttgart, Detroit, and Tokyo, including a turnaround assignment at Mitsubishi Motors. Ogawa’s investment thesis targets pre-seed through Series A technology companies, primarily in North America, with sector focus on SaaS, fintech, digital health, consumer internet, and artificial intelligence. Quest typically serves as the first institutional investor, deploying checks between $100,000 and $1.5 million with a sweet spot around $500,000, and often leads seed and Series A rounds. Notable portfolio companies include Casetify and Viki, the latter of which was acquired by Rakuten. Ogawa’s distinctive perspective stems from his automotive and global procurement background, which he applies to evaluating early-stage tech ventures with operational rigor.
